History in General

Events and epochs prior to the First World War, and after that anything that does not fit into any particular category of the era of the world wars or the post-WWII and cold war era. This does also include the subcategory of U.S. history, if the events dealt with do not fit in any of the other categories or is of special interest, like the U.S. Civil War or 9/11 and its aftermath.

Outlaw History #6

Well, it's done. George W. won the big one. I wasn't very much for Kerry, he never said anything interesting that reached my ears, but I was very much against Mr. Bush. Four more years.

Dear Bradley: I just went on your web site and read newsletter no. 2 (9/29/04). I enjoyed it and it made some effective points, but it also raised in my mind the following caution: any discussion of “terrorism” is apt to get out of focus by sliding away from a clear definition of the word….

The War on Iraq: Conceived in Israel

In a lengthy article in The American Conservative criticizing the rationale for the projected U.S. attack on Iraq, the veteran diplomatic historian Paul W. Schroeder noted (only in passing) “what is possibly the unacknowledged real reason and motive behind the policy-security for Israel.” If Israel's security were indeed the real American motive for war, Schroeder…
